REPORTED BY:
CITY OF EAGAN
APPLICATION SUBMI'1
An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat, Oster Addi-
tion, which consists of approximately 4 acres and will contain 9 single
family lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned R -1 (Residential Single District) and would
allow only single family detached dwellings. The applicant is requesting
to plat the property in that manner. The proposed land use is also R -1
(Single Family) with a density of 0-3 dwelling units per acre.
PI'S
Presently, there is an undeveloped parcel which contains approximately 4
acres located north of Skyline Road and west of Pilot Knob Road. In order
to develop this parcel, the applicant must request sewer and water extensions
which are presently located on the east side of Pilot Knob Road. At the
present time, the applicant has submitted a petition to the City requesting
that these extensions be provided prior to the surfacing of Pilot Knob Road.
All lots meet the 12,000 square foot requirement for an R-1 District. How-
ever Lots 2 and 3 have only a 70' lot width at the 30' setback. Ordinance
52 requires an 85' width at the 30' setback. Therefore, a variance will have
to be granted on Lots 2 and 3 in order to develop the plat in this fashion.
The west and north lot line of the proposed Oster Addition abuts Highview
Park. The Park Director has requested that when the survey is done and the
monuments are placed on the lot corners, that the Park Department be con-
tacted so park boundary signs can be placed to delineate Highview Park.
The Park Director has also requested that the developer provide landscaping
along the rear lot lines of 1, 2 and 3 in order to delineate the park pro-
perty from the residential lots.

PAGE TWO
The proposed layout for the subdivision maximizes the development potential
for this parcel. The cul- de-sac which has been provided appears to be the
best way to service this parcel. The location of the cul-de -sac is at a
point where it has been placed the farthest west on the parcel that it can
be placed in order to provide as much stacking LUC1 and turning roam from
Skyline Road and Pilot Knob Road.
The applicant is proposing to dedicate 30' of right-of-way for Skyline
Road. The applicant is also proposing to dedicate a 75' half right- of-way
for Pilot Knob Road. It is the staff's understanding that the right-of-way
on Pilot Knob Road in other locations within this area has only been 55'
for a half right-of-way. Therefore, the 75' dedication may be reduced 25'
to the 50' half right-of-way. This will be worked out between preliminary
and final plat approval. If approved, the plat should be subject to the
following conditions:
1. When the monuments are placed on the west lot lines of Lots 1, 2 and
3, the surveyor shall contact the Park Department in order that the
Park Department can place the park boundary signs.
2. Landscaping or vegetation shall be planted on Lots 1, 2 and 3 in order
to delineate the single family lots from the park property.
3. The plat shall be subject to the park dedication requirements at the
time of final plat approval.
4. A variance would have to be granted on Lots 2 and 3 to allow less than
the 85' width requirement at the 30' setback. The applicant shall be
required to design the house to fit the lot vs. the City granting side
setback variances on these two lots.

ENGINEERING RECODMENIDATIONS
1. A detailed grading and drainage plan must be submitted and approved
indicating the feasibility of Lots 1 -4 to be serviced by a gravity
sanitary sewer.
2. The north half of Skyline Road must be constructed to current City
standards as a part of this plat.
3. A 30' half right - ofway must be dedicated for Skyline Road.
4. Sufficient right - of-way must be dedicated to provide for a 50' half
right -of way of Pilot Knob Read.
5. Sufficient drainage and utility easements must be dedicated over
the required common lot lines to provide access for the required
sewer, water and storm sewer laterals. In addition, a 10' drain-
age and utility easement must be dedicated over all cam on property
lines and adjacent to all public right-of-way.
6. Restricted access must be dedicated adjacent to Pilot Knob Road.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REPORT
PRELIMINARY PLAT - OSTER ADDITION
JULY 28, 1981
PAGE TWO
Due to the fact that there is no anticipated time frame for the installation
of utilities in Skyline Road or its proposed future upgrading, it would be
difficult to establish an accurate cost figure of sufficient amount to cover
anticipated future construction costs. The second alternative would insure
that the Oster Addition plat has fulfilled its obligation towards Skyline Road
at the present time. The future installation of sanitary sewer and watermain
could then be constructed within the south half on unimproved portion of Skyline
Road at some future date as the need requires.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
A proposed grading and drainage plan has not been submitted for review by
staff at the time of this report. The property generally slopes fran the
southeast to the northwest corner. Due to the elevation constraints of the
sanitary sewer mentioned previously, additional fill will have to be placed
in the northwest corner of this proposed plat. In addition, an internal storm
sewer system will have to be provided to pick up the anticipated future low
point of Oster Drive through its curvature to provide drainage into the stone
sewer presently being constructed with the improvement of Pilot Knob Road.
The additional run -off generated by the development of this plat will be
handled by the internal storm sewer system which will discharge directly to
the Minnesota River via the proposed stone sewer for Pilot Knob Road and I -494.
EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY
The present in -place Skyline Road is located on the south h 30' right- of-way
that was dedicated as a part of Treffle Acres. The north 30' half right -of-
way will have to be dedicated as a condition of this plat. In addition, the
present 33' half right- of-way for Pilot Knob Road was increased to a 50' half
right-of -way through the acquisition of the additional 17' due to the construc-
tion of Pilot Knob Road. It is not anticipated that any additional right -of-
way over the 50' presently available will be required. A minimum 20' utility
easement centered over the common lot line of Lot 6 and 7 will have to dedi-
cated to provide access for the required sewer and water laterals. In addi-
tion, a 15' utility easement centered over the common lot line of Lots 5 and
6 will have to be dedicated for future extension of the required storm sewer
facilities. All other common drainage and utility easements adjacent to
public right - of-way and centered over common property lines will be required
in accordance with standard City policy.
I will be available to discuss any other details pertaining to this report,
or plat,at the Planning Commission Meeting of July 28, 1981.

FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JULY 23, 1981
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - OSTER ADDITION (JOHN O'TOOL)
The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer for considera-
tion of preliminary plat approval:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and watermain of sufficient size and capacity to handle this
proposed development is available within the right -of -way of Pilot Knob Road.
However, the elevation of the sanitary sewer line requires that approximately
4 -8 feet of additional fill must be placed over lots 2, 3 and 4 to provide
gravity sewer service for potential future homesites. Sewer and water stubs
for future extensions to service this plat are being provided under Project
334 in conjunction with the upgrading of Pilot Knob road. There are presently
no sewer and water utilities within the Skyline Road alignment to the south of
this plat. The existing hamesites of Treffle Acres along the southside of
Skyline Road are presently serviced with onsite sewer and water facilities.
In the future, it is anticipated watermain will be extended from Pilot Knob
Road to the west along Skyline Road. Sanitary sewer to service the houses on
the southside of Skyline Road (Treffle Acres) will have to be provided by a
sewer extension from the west as the need is dictated by the existing home-
sites and possible future replatting of the Treffle Acres and Zehnder Acres
plats.
STREET'S
Because of the configuration of this proposed plat and the restricted access
to Pilot Knob Road, the proposed cul -de -saced configuration of the internal
street is the most feasible way to provide access to the proposed nine lots
of this plat. This internal street will have to be constructed to present
City standards of 32' bituminous surfacing with concrete curb and gutter.
Skyline Road which will provide access to the proposed Oster Drive, is pre-
sently a 20 -22 foot wide gravel road. When Skyline Road is upgraded, the
Oster Addition will be responsible for its share of the improvement costs.
However, due to the fact that future required utilities are not yet in place
along Skyline Road, it would be premature to construct Skyline Road to exist-
ing City standards of bituminous surfacing with curb and gutter. Two alter-
natives would be available to insure that the Oster Addition shares in this
financial responsibility for the future upgrading of Skyline Road:
1. Escrow an anticipated future assessment figure for the improve-
ment of Sj.yline Road to be applied when Skyline Road is upgraded.
2. Construct the north half of Skyline Road (16') to present City
standards of bituminous surfacing with concrete curb and gutter
as a part of the construction requirements of this plat.

SUBJECT : REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT - GALAXY PARK
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
AP PL I CANT : LAND ' SAKE INC. - THOMAS HEIBERG
LOCATION : E# OF THE Nib OF SEC'T'ION 20
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 28, 1981
DATE OF REPORT : JULY 23, 1981
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMItiED
The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 36 acres
from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development District). The second appli-
cation submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval of the first phase
of the Galaxy Park Planned Development. The first phase will consist of approx-
imately 17.3 acres and will contain 82 dwelling units.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural District). The agricultural
zoning is the lowest zoning classification in the City of Eagan. Presently,
the lot size in an agricultural district is one single family dwelling unit
per 5 acres. Once utilities are available to the parcel, the site may be
zoned to a higher zoning classification. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates the subject parcel as R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density range of
3 -6 dwelling units per acre.
COMMENTS
As you may recall, the applicant had requested rezoning and preliminary plat
approval on the subject parcel in January of 1981. The subject parcel con-
sisted of approximately 36 acres and contained 170 dwelling units. The re-
vised planned development proposal consists of the same acreage, but the
density has been reduced to 160 dwelling units. This change occurs in the
reduction of 5 duplex buildings, or 10 dwelling units. The road alignments
have remained basically the same as it was originally submitted with the
first plan. The only other change is the shifting around of sane of the 8 -plex
units the relocation of the open space has been shifted from the north-
west quadrant of the north-south street to the southeast quadrant of the same
street.
According to the Eagan Comprehensive Guide Plan, the land use designated for
this particular parcel is R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density range of 3 -6
dwelling units per acre. The proposed planned development is within this

density range. The proposed planned development will have three different types
of housing units. The breakdown on this development proposal is as follows:
GROSS ACRES NET ACRES UNITS GROSS DENSITY NET DENSITY
The planned development provides continuity with the surrounding developments.
The applicant is proposing to extend Covington Lane through the Galaxy Park
planned development to tie into Galaxy Avenue. The applicant has also con-
tinued Narvik Drive north to Galaxy Avenue. The site plan also shows a stub
street which will provide access to an outlot in Ridgecliffe Development.
This stub street will make it possible to develop with the first phase of the
Galaxy Park Planned Development. The applicant has sketched an overall design
for the outlot in Ridgecliffe as to how this parcel could be developed once
the street has been extended to the property.
FIRST PHASE OR PRELIMINARY PLAT
The first phase of the preliminary plat will consist of approximately 17.3 acres
and contain 82 dwelling units. The dwelling unit breakdown is as follows:
4 single family lots, 11 duplex buildings, or 22 dwelling units, and 7 8 -plex
buildings, 56 dwelling units - TOTAL: 82 dwelling units.
Also in this plat is a .9 acre area which will be used for open space and a
tot lot for the overall development,and an 18.2 acre outlot which will have to
be replatted in the future to plat the remaining 78 dwelling units.
In reviewing the preliminary plat for this development, there are two additional
things the staff would like to see with this first phase. First is that Coving-
ton Lane rights-of-way be dedicated through the Galaxy Park Planned Development
at this time, and secondly that a ponding easement be provided at the elevation
required by the City Engineer.
In reviewing the preliminary plat, the applicant is proposing 32 units, or 4
8- plexes on Lot 1, Block 1. According to the area of Lot 1, Block 1, it would
only allow 30 dwelling units. Therefore, a lot line will have to be shifted
to add approximately 1,200 square feet. Lot 1, Block 2 also is approximately
2 units over what would be allowed for the square footage. These lot lines
can also be adjusted to accommodate the 24 dwelling units. The rest of the
lots and blocks are in excess of the square footage for the structures which
are proposed. If the planned development and the preliminary plat are approved,

it should be subject to the following conditions:
1. A planned development agreement shall be drafted and executed with
the City of Eagan.
2. There shall be no more than 160 dwelling units allowable for con-
struction within this planned development.
3. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
submitted with each phase of the development.
4. Detailed landscape plan shall be approved for the townhouse por-
tion of the planned development, and an adequate landscape bond
shall be required and not released until 1 year after the land-
scaping has been completed.
5. A cash dedication shall be dedicated with the platting of each
phase. This dedication shall be based at the current park
dedication rate.
6. Covington Lane rights- of-way shall be dedicated with the first
phase of the planned development.
7. The City shall also obtain the ponding easement as required by
the City Engineer with the first phase of the planned development.
8. A homeowner's association by -laws shall be reviewed by the City
staff before final plat approval.
9. The additional land needed to complete Lot 1, Block 4, and the
portion of land which will be required for Ridgecliffe Addition.
must be transacted and incorporated into the final plat of this
first phase.
10. The planned development shall be subject to all of the lot
coverage requirements and setback requirements in accordance
with Ordinance #52.

T0: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JANUARY 22, 1981
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - GALAXY PARK ADDITION
Public Works Department has the following comments to offer in regards to the
proposed preliminary plat:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer facilities of sufficient size and depth
to service this proposed addition are anticipated to be installed during 1981 under
Project 316. Public hearings for these public utility installations are anticipated
to be held during April of 1981.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The overall drainage for this plat will be picked up by internal storm sewer laterals
as necessary, and directed to the onsite ponding area which will have a controlled
storm water outlet provided under Project 316 as discussed previously.
STREETS AND TRAILWAYS
Due to the configuration and topography of this parcel of property, the proposed
cul-de -sac is acceptable as proposed to the Public Works Department. The developer
is proposing to continue Covington Way from Ridgecliffe 1st Addition to Galaxie
Avenue. Although this is a minor collector, the proposed 60 -foot right - of-way is
acceptable as proposed. There will be a requirement for a 5 -foot concrete sidewalk
to be installed along the northside of Covington Lane. An 8 -foot bituminous trail -
way will be constructed along the eastside of Galaxie Avenue under Project 316 by
the City.
EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Sufficient right -of - way -has already been acquired for the relocation of Galaxie
Avenue by MbEOT. Sufficient drainage easements must be dedicated to incorporate
the 916.0 elevation of Pond AP -15.
I will be available to answer any questions concerning this plat at the Planning
Commission Meeting of January 27.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: POLICY, PLAY PERIMETER
At the July llth, 1981 meeting, the Advisory Committee asked
the staff to prepare a draft policy statement requiring play
perimeters and a soft resilient material around and under
the play equipment.
The following is a draft proposal for your review.
The Eagan Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has adopted
a policy of constructing play perimeters around its play
equipment and the installation of a soft, resilient surface
beneath and around this equipment. The surface type is to
consist of sand, synthetic turf or a wood chip bark.
The purpose of this policy is to insure a safe, play environ-
ment for equipment users by reducing potential injuries as
well as reducing City liability through non - installation of
materials. The ground material is to meet recognized safety
standards for play areas. The play perimeter will also
reduce maintenance conflicts between different use areas, and
to establish a psychological barrier between active play space
and passive recreational zones.
ADOPTED AUGUST , 1981

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: PARKS DEDICATION
August 1981
At the July 9th committee meeting, direction was given to staff to meet
with the sub - committee and research the "parks dedication" issue.
Direction was to work with the existing formula to update the dollar
equivalent, rather than to depart to another type of formula.
The last increase in the parks dedication was April of 1980, when the
City approved the formula based on purchase of park land at $7,500 per
acre.
In reviewing recent land sales, it's obvious that there is a wide range
in costs. Topography, zoning and number of units per acre, size of
parcel, utilities assessments, have an impact on each parcel. Mr. John
Hankinsen of Dunn and Curry recently indicated that bulk land of 80
acres or more of unimproved land would sell from $7,500 to $9,000, if
it were zoned for single family, R -2 from $9,000 to $11,000, R -3 from
$11,000 to $12,000 and R -4 from $12,000 and up.
Recent sales of land reported:
Rahn Park Acquisition 20 acres, Jan. '81 $10,000
Cinnamon Ridge 72 acres, '81 R -2/R -4 12,500
Eagan High School 96 acres, March '81 - Agriculture 5,500
Tilsen -Eden Addition 40 acres, July '79 R -3 10,424
Windcrest 80 acres, March '79 Proposed R -2 5,212
Brittany Estates 75 acres, Jan. '79 R -1 5,000
Walden Heights 46 acres, Dec. '79 R -1 7,960
Galaxy Park Addition 36 acres, Jan. '81 R -3 13,000
Lexington Place 80 acres, March '81 Multiple 9,300
Winkler /Jackson 91 acres, Jan. '81 P.U.D. 12,300
Purchase of land, done well in advance of development, with the intent
of future need (as with the Eagan High School site) may well be less
expensive than the going rate.
However, if the City were to purchase park land, it would "normally"
be done at a time, or in conjunction with approaching development, as
was the case with Rahn Park.
This may increase the market ability of the land, and hence its price
per acre.
The committee should review the list of recent land sales carefully
and make its recommendation based on land sales similiar to land that
would /might be purchased for parks.

Park Dedication - Memo
Page 2
On the following graph, the formula has been applied to different land
values to obtain ,,unit cash dedication requirements:
Units Existing Cash Unit Cost for
Housing Type Per Acre Dedication Acre at:
$7,500 $8,500 $9,000 $9,500 $10,000
Single Family 2.5 $500 $340 $360 $380 $400
Town House 6 $250 $283 $299 $316 $332
Apartment 15 $187 $213 $226 $239 $252
Mobile Home 6 $250 $283 $299 $316 $332
The Advisory Committee, after review of land costs, should consult the
above formula for determining cash dedication requirements and its
recommendation.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
August 1981
RE: ELECTION OF VICE - CHAIRPERSON
The City Council acted not to accept the request from Jean Loken
for a "leave of absence" from the Advisory Committee because of
the uncertainty of the length of her absence.
Her vacancy on the committee has been announced and the City
Council will be seeking to fill the position at the earliest
opportunity. Her vacancy has also created a vacancy in the
position of vice- chairperson.
The committee should elect a member to fill this position for
the remainder of the year.

Grand total for the five year period represents nearly 3.4 million dollars
worth of parks acquisition and development.
This figure is based on known improvements /acquisition that have been identified
in the City's Comp Guide Plan and may not necessarily reflect the order of
priority for each parks development. These figures do not reflect any tax
assessments on park property or for water, storm, and sanitary sewer connections.
Nor are there any funding for City wide trails.
Comprehensive Park Plan # 1 July 22, 1981
Present: Voss
Maft in
Vraa
At the first meeting to discuss the need and process for a
Parks Master Plan, Consultant Planner Voss provided his
suggestions and input on the need for and possible processes
to follow in developing a master park plan.
The memo to the Advisory Committee, May 81, from the Director
of Parks and Recreation was reviewed as a basis for discussion.
Voss commented that if the intent is to go for a bond issue,
then a master plan or its elements would be needed. Outside
consultant may be more objective while inside staff is more
knowledgeable about existing conditions. A combination of the
two, an outside consultant working closely with staff /officials
might be the most effective.
Agreement that the timing for a master plan is now appropriate.
Fresh, reliable data about the community is available as a
result of City wide Comp Guide Plan, information on transpor-
tation, zoning, park service areas, as well as demographic
data from the 1980 census, etc. would only have to be "re-
viewed for up- dating" rather than involvement in a complex,
time consuming study. There is an apparent need for parks
development, with approximately 5k acres of developed neighbor-
hood park space per 1,000 population which is below "standards ",
while park acreage per 1,000 is currently above standards.
A preliminary list of information that would be part of the
guide plan was drafted.
The City currently has information pertaining to: zoning and
density, transportation, population projection, 1980 census
data, soils, water quality, topography, wood lands, park inven-
tory (acreage, equipment, tennis courts) proposed C.I.P., trails
plan, park service areas.
A "don't list includes: concept plans, special needs, priority
and cost estimate for development, demographic projections,
facilities study, leisure interest trends, community survey.
Other items which need to be reviewed closely is the role of
regional parks, M.V.W.R., State parks as they affect Eagan.
Ornamental and historical site review of park lands classifi-
cation and standards.
A great deal of discussion concerned the need to "find out"
what the important leisure needs of the community are now and
to project those needs out for 3 and 5 year intervals.

Comprehensive Park Plan # 1
Page 2
The development of a survey instrument and the administration
of it was discussed. Several alternatives for development of
the tool was suggested.
Generally, it was felt that a "personal interview" would be the
"best." And, that neighborhood meetings would be another alterna-
tive to finding out what leisure interests are. The personal
interview may provide the best information, but is the most
time consuming and may not get to as many people as other
techniques.
It was felt that the survey could be administered at the "local
level ", but that interpretation of the results and development
of the tool, would have to be done with outside help.
The meeting also reviewed other benefits of a Master Park Plan,
staff /official capabilities to do in house and consultants role.
Next Meeting: not yet scheduled.
Topic: Further discussion on the elements that would be needed
in a master plan; development of a time -line or check
points for conclusion of master plan study.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS; PARKS DEDICATION
August 13, 1981
At the August 6th Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, the
committee made a recommendation regarding an increase in parks dedication.
I've been asked to submit this recommendation to the council for their re-
view.
Background: The committee, and members of a sub - committee, have reviewed a
potential increase in the parks cash dedication requirements since the early
part of this year. Discussion of the issue by the committee involved a re-
view of the various formulas and methods used at deriving parks dedication.
The committee deciding that the existing 10% land dedication and cash
dedication were being successfully used within Eagan, and that a change
from this formula was not appropriate at this time.
Prior to the August 6th committee meeting, staff prepared a memo outlining
recent land purchases within Eagan and what the various cash dedication re-
quirements would be under established land values. (see August 6 park packet)
As you know, the committee discussed at considerable length what it felt the
issues were, the need for updating cash dedication requirements, and the
concern for providing sufficient funds for future park land acquisition/
development.
The committee recommendations was based on the following:
1. That recent 1981 land sales averaged to $10,433 an acre. In as much
as these sales were for large parcels'of land, it was the conclusion
of the committee that smaller parcels, which would be purchased for
park needs, may well exceed this average amount.
2. That there has been a recent trend in multiple housing resulting in
rapid growth in population with higher densities; and increased needs
for park service. Further, that park land in multiple zoning would
be more expensive than that which is zoned single family.
3. That recent land purchase for park - Rahn Park - was at $10,000 per
acre.
4. To insure funding for future park acquisition which has been identi-
fied in the comp plan because park bonding is not a certainty.
5. To keep up with the inflationary market for land and sustain the cash
dedication requirement at a level consistent with potential park land
purchases.
6. That there had been no increase since April of 1980, and that the
committee recommendation should project itself ahead to when a new
cash dedication fee would take affect.
The committee recommended that this fee would then be in effect until at
least December of 1982.
After rejection of an initial motion, the committee recommended that the
fees be increased as follows:
7
•
Page 2
Single Family -- $100.00
Town House -- 82.00
Apartment -- 65.00
These amounts are based on acreage cost of $10,000.
Staff briefly reviewed proposed residential plats from January 1, 1980
to the present. If the recommended cash dedication were to have been in effect
the City would have generated an additional $37,000. (this figure is approxi
mate and does not include Cinnamon Ridge or Winkler /Jackson which were a
combination of land and cash) (Staff had discussed the possibility of pro-
jecting ahead the potential income from the fees, but it's virtually impossible
to determine)
The committee is making the recommendation with the intent that the new
cash dedication requirements would be in effect by January 1, 1982.
Should you require additional information, please let me know and I'll
be happy to provide.
